The Edinboro defense has given up just 30 points in its first four games,
and is just eleven seconds away from shutting out three of its first four
opponents. The Fighting Scots came up with shutout number two last
week, the first time since 1980 that an Edinboro team has recorded two
shutouts in a season. The Scots allowed just 188 total yards and 68
yards rushing to a Shippensburg offense which has given it fits in the
past. Edinboro currently ranks first in Division II in rushing defense
(53.0 ypg.), fourth in total defense (207.5 ypg.), and third in scoring
defense (7.5 ppg.).

DEGreg MacAnn set the tone for the Edinboro defense when he
blocked a 23-yard field goal attempt by Shippensburg in the first quar

losses of 13 yards, and one sack. For his efforts, and the strong play of
the entire defense, MacAnn was recognized as the PSAC West

Erie Connection Leads Clarion Ground
Game
A pair of former local high school standouts are at the forefront of
Clarion's ground game. Tyrone Buckner, a 5'10", 185 lb. sophomore by
way of Cathedral Prep, leads the way with 209 yards and 2 TDs on 73
carries, while missing one game. Buckner led the Golden Eagles with
49 yards on 16 carries. Harbor Creek High School product Dave
Murzynski, a 5'10", 180 lb. freshman, adds 177 yards on 39 rushes with
2 TDs. A couple of other Erie products are also playing major roles.
Dwaon Woodard, a junior comerback, has 14 tackles, an interception
and has broken up 4 passes. Kyle Snoke, a junior from Prep, has made
7 of 7 extra points, but is 0 of 8 on field goals after making 6 of 7 last year.

Over the past few weeks everyone has gotten acclimated with Spud,
otherwise known as Ulysee Davis. But as the season is progressing it's
becoming apparent that Edinboro has three very capable options at tail
back. Davis, a 5'9", 193 lb. redshirt freshman, leads the way with 408
yards on 85 carries with 7 TDs. The other two players are transfers.
DeMarkus Robinson previously played at Kent State, and while he has
two years of eligibility remaining, he has received his bachelor's degree.
Despite not playing against East Stroudsburg, the 5'10", 180 lb.
Robinson has 165 yards and a TD on 32 rushes. Then comes the x-factor - Kelvin CoUins. A bruising 6'0", 230 lbs., the Bowie State transfer is
a punishing runner who can dso bounce it outside. He has 213 yards
on 37 rushes. Collins, a senior, gained over 1,000 yards in three seasons
at Bowie State.
12 to 29=F1rst Down, Tbe Trend Continues
A week ago we noted that every one of Jordan Bobitski's five receptions
had accoimted for a first down. That trend continued against
Shippensburg. While only catching two passes for 20 yards, both went
for first downs, including one in the third quarter where he managed to
pick up three more yards while falling forward. The catch kept a scor
ing drive alive.

Tepper was appointed the 12th
head football coach at Edinboro

of the Fighting Scot program on
January 5, 2000. He promised a
tough and classy program, and in
four short years delivered a cham
pionship team that fans and alumni
enthusiastically endorse.
Tepper inherited an Edinboro

seasons. The Scots have shown

Tepper s real passion is for special teams, despite his national reputation on defense Edinboro has not had a kick blocked the last two years
for touclSi^°'^

"Wie had an outstanding pool of
candidates to choose from, hut Lou's

Illinois went in to Columbus and upset Ohio State,
18-16, and posted a 22-22 tie against Michigan in
Arm Arbor.
While his '93 edition finished 5-6, that includ
ed a 24-21 win in Arm Arbor against the Wolverines.
The Illini made it back to postseason play in 1994,
handing East Carolina a 30-0 whitewashing in the
Liberty Bowl. The '94 squad finished 7-5, again
upsetting one of the elite in the Big Ten. And once
again it was on the road, as Illinois shocked Ohio
State, 24-10, in Columbus behind Butkus Award
winner Dana Howard.
LINEBACKERS
Through the years Penn State had gained the
reputation as "Linebacker U", but Illinois could have
made a good case for that designation as well dur
ing Tepper's tenure. He produced consecutive
Butkus Award winners in Dana Howard (1994) and
Kevin Hardy (1995). Along the way, he also pro
duced Big Ten Defensive Players of the Year in Moe
Gardner and Darrick Brownlow (1990), Howard
(1993 and '94) and Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the
Year Simeon Rice in 1994. For the only time in Big
Ten history, Tepper had four first team All-Big Ten
linebackers at his disposal. In all, he has coached
over 20 professional linebackers, and has published
a book, "Complete Linebacking", a 312-page com
prehensive book on linebacker play.
Hardy and Rice became the highest defensive
draft duo in the history of the NFL draft in 1996
when Hardy went second to Jacksonville and Rice
third to Arizona. That stood until the 2000 NFL
Draft when Penn State's Courtney Brown and Lavar
Arrington went one-two.
DIVISION I
ASSISTTANT CX)ACH
In over thirty years as an assistant coach,
Tepper has worked at some of the top institutions in
the country. That includes the likes of Pittsburgh,
Virginia Tech and Colorado, in addition to his time
at Illinois and LSU.
Tepper began his coaching career as a gradu
ate assistant at Pittsburgh in 1967, then moved on to
the University of New Hampshire from 1968-71,
coaching the running backs and linebackers before
becoming the defensive coordinator. His
next stop was the College of William &
Mary, where he joined former New
Hampshire head coach Jim Root as the
defensive coordinator from 1972-77. The
1976 William & Mary squad posted the
school's best record in thirty years. He was
the assistant head coach his final year at
William & Mary.
In 1978, Virginia Tech head coach Bill
Dooley hired Tepper as his linebackers
coach. Tepper helped build the Hokies into
a consistent bowl contender with a defense
that annually ranked among the nation's top
ten. He stayed at Virginia Tech from 197882, working with Outland Trophy winner
and Buffalo Bills great Bruce Smith, among
others. The 1980 Hokie edition played
Miami(FL) in the Peach Bowl.
Tepper joined Bill McCartney's staff at
Colorado in 1983, serving as the defensive
coordinator and assistant head coach imtil
departing for Illinois in 1988. Tepper helped
turn around a defense which raided No. 100
nationally in yards allowed prior to his
arrival, to one which was as high as 11th in Division
I in total defense. He earned the title of assistant
head coach his final two seasons, and helped the
Buffaloes to the 1985 Freedom Bowl and the 1986
Blue Bonnet Bowl. Among the assistant coaches at
Colorado was Gerry DiNardo, who would later
bring Tepper in to direct his LSU defense.

though Peterson runs through a lot of t^kles, the best way to slow
him down is to focus on moving defensive players into a position
where they can do so the easiest.
“In our ballgame, we did get in a position where we could get our
shoulder pads on him and we were a better tackling group,” Snyder
says. “You really have to focus on how you tackle Adrian in order to
make that happen.”
As if Peterson isn’t going to be carrying enough of a load this

In 1985, Plymouth State running back Joe Dudek had the most

College, he was just hoping to make
the team. What Dudek wound up making
was the cover of Sports Illustrated as the

By the close of his storybook career, this
phenom from a tiny New Hampshire school
had dethroned Walter Payton ofJackson
State to reign as the leading scorer (474
points) in college football history. He also
finished as the third-ranked rusher (5,570
yards), trailing only Heisman Trophy win
ners Tony Dorsett (6,082) of Pittsburgh and
Charles White (5,598) ofUSC.
But what really catapulted Dudek into the
national consciousness was that spot in the

stole some of the spotlight by placing ninth in the balloting, the best

“I’ll always be remembered as Sports Illnstrated’s choice for the

There was a time when nobody could have envisioned Dudek
setting any records to break. He didn’t even start until his senior year

supported our players with evening snacks through the grueling practice sessions in August. Our “August
Snacks Program” has been a huge success. In the past, our players had nothing to eat in the evening after
practices, conditioning and lifting. I can’t tell you how truly appreciative our players are of these generous dona
tions. This is the fifth consecutive year that the community has reached out and assisted us. Our players have
asked me to thank each of the restaurants/eateries below. In nearly 30 years of coaching at the Division I level,
I never had players respond with such gratitude.
Please support these Edinboro businesses! THANK YOU.

PSAC Names KUne and Larson Scholar-Athletes of the Year
Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference Commissioner Steve
Murray has announced that 1,366
student-athletes from the league
have been recognized as “ScholarAthletes” for the 2004-05 academic
year. The total eclipses last year’s
record-setting total of 1,239.
Headlining the list of recipients
are this year’s league ScholarAthletes of the Year, Kutztown
University’s Laura Kline and
California
University’s
Mike
Larson.
Those awards are
selected by the league's sports
information directors.
Mike Larson
Larson,
a
senior
baseball
player
from
Weyburn,
Saskatchewan, is a repeat selection for Scholar-Athlete of the
Year.
A criminal justice major, he recently graduated from
California with a 3.85 GPA. This past season, he started 49 of
California’s 50 games, and led the team in several categories
including hits (62), home runs (8), runs (43), RBI (49), total bases
(107) and slugging percentage (.622). He finished his career
among California’s top five in batting average (.375), hits (191),
doubles (43), at bats (505) and among top 10 in homers (18) and
RBI (119).
The multi-talented Larson was a three-time All-PSAC-West
choice. In 2004 he led California to its first PSAC Championship
title since 1979, earning first-team honors as an outfielder,
second-team honors at pitcher and being named the West’s
Athlete of the Year. Larson is a two-time ESPN The Magazine/
CoSIDA Academic All-American, a two-time all-region player, and
has made the Dean's List every semester at California.
Kline, a junior standout on
Kutztown’s field hockey and track &
field squads, hails from Reading. She
carries a 4.00 GPA as a special
education major. This past year she
earned All-PSAC certificates in field
hockey, indoor and outdoor track &
field.
In field hockey she was a
second-team choice for a defense that
posted a PSAC-best six shutouts in
league competition.
The Golden
Bears allowed just 1.21 goals per
game in conference action, tied for
second best in the PSAC.
She
chipped in with two goals and four
assists as well.
Laura Kline
Kline also played a key role on Kutztown’s PSAC
Championship squads in both indoor and outdoor track &
field. During the winter she finished second in the 400-meter run
and as a part of the 4-x400 meter relay team. During the outdoor
season she paced the field in the 400-meter hurdles by running a
time of 1:03.10, and was part of the winning 4x400 relay team
which finished in a time of 3:53.01. Both times-established new
stadium records.
In addition, she qualified for the league
championships in the 200- and 400-meter races, and earlier in
the season, ran a PSAC season-best time of 1:03.05 in the 400meter hurdles.
GIANT
Make every day taste better;

Since arriving in Edinboro in January 2000, I
have felt it is essential that we give to the commu
nity and vice versa. It has been very gratifying to
the response of local organizations in assisting
Edinboro football. Three years ago the service
organizations proved invaluable working at the
Bills - Browns scrimmage, and for the last two
years have run our 50/50 raffles. Their assistance
was greatly appreciated. Myself and my coaching
staff looks forward to working with these organiza

.jljank you for your support of the Annual
Athletic Fund Drive.
A year ago I told you that it was a year to
lememl^r. How do you come back a year later
and say that we exceeded last year's results. Just
as a year ago, Edinboro University brought home
three Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference
championships. The Fighting Scots repeated as
champions in football and women's cross country,
and over the winter brought home the men's bas
ketball crown.
The women's cross country proved that you
can peak at the right time, finishing second at the
NCAA Division II National Championships as
four runners earned All-American honors. The
men's cross country team, meanwhile, also
earned a top ten finish, placing seventh. In addi
tion to those two teams, football, men's basket
ball, wrestling, swimming and track & field
either competed as a team or had individuals
qualify for NCAA Championships.
It was indeed the year of the individual, as
no fewer than 15 individuals earned AllAmerican status. Shawn Bunch made a run at
becoming Edinboro's third NCAA Division
wrestling champion before settling for second
place at 133 lbs. In men's basketball, Jakim
Donaldson was a consensus first team AllAmerican. And keep an eye out for Brooke
Heath, a freshman swimmer who earned a pair
of All-American certificates at Nationals. Ryan
Coon doubled as a cross country and track AllAmerican.
I have to tell you it would be a disappoint
ing year if those successes weren't duplicated in
the classroom. Fortunately, that was not the case.
A total of 116 student-athletes were recognized at
our annual Scholar-Athlete Banquet. These indi
viduals were honored for maintaining a cumula
tive grade point average of 3.00 or better. Sixty
Fighting Scots were accorded PSAC ScholarAthlete status, with a 3.25 GPA or higher.
That's what we're all about at Edinboro building winners, on the playing fields and in the
classroom. We're beginning to see the fruits of
our labor in terms of fundraising, as improve
ments to the wrestling locker room were com
pleted last fall. A new track is being installed at
Sox Harrison Stadium, and improvements are
being made in the grandstand. Next up - more
locker room improvements, and a new and
improved weight room.
These projects are all part of the University's
Capital Campaign. Another area where your
donations make an immediate difference are
endowed scholarships. Last year more than 80
endowed scholarships were awarded. This is a
number that continues to grow, and makes a very
tangible difference.
Your support has been greatly appreciated
throughout the years. As we begin our eighth
annual athletic fund drive, we hope you'll again
consider a generous contribution. And please
don't forget to let others know about what we're
accomplishing and what we can do in the future
with their help.

Today^s Feature
Bzorek
Loves Gtettiii’ Nasty
by Boh Shreve, Sports Information Director
In one instance, Greg Bzorek is described as a
gentle giant. Yet the Edinboro coaching staff
consistently uses one phrase when talking
about their All-American offensive tackle.
"He has a nasty streak," beams offensive
coordinator Scott Browning, who doubles as
the offensive line coach. "He comes to play. Off
the field, he's a gentle giant. He's a fun-loving
guy. On the field, he's nasty."
Could it be that the nastiness was fostered
by the fact he has four brothers, all similar in
size, although at 6'6", 330 lbs., Greg is the biggest. His brother Joe
played defensive tackle at Clarion, while Bill was an offensive lineman
for Slippery Rock. Ron Bzorek began his career at Slippery Rock before
transferring to Edinboro and playing his final three years as an offensive
lineman for the Fighting Scots. And finally there's youngest brother
Josh, who starts opposite Greg at left tackle.
What must it have been like fighting for food at the dinner table?
Consider that Josh is the smallest of the Bzorek boys at 285 lbs. That's a
lot of food for Ledia and Joe Bzorek to feed their toys.
"My oldest brother Joe was a defensive tackle, and the other broth
ers are offensive linemen," Greg pointed out. "Joe was 6'2", 250 lbs. My
dad said he was the shrimp. 1 can remember when 1 was a little boy my
parents would always go to the grocery store on Friday and bring the
food home. We did have to have two turkeys on Thanksgiving, stuff
like that."
As for the nasty streak, it's something that Bzorek revels in. And
he admits his family has definitely played a factor. "It's not an alter-ego
or anything," he commented. "Football is the only sport where you can
punch someone and its legal. My father and brothers always told me
you have to be physical. I was taught to go to the whistle. If you've ever
noticed, it's the people that don't go hard the whole play who tend to
get hurt."
More often than not, the only time an offensive lineman gets
noticed is when he holds. Bzorek has gained quite a bit of notoriety
while starting 38 of 39 games during his career for the Fighting Scots.
After earning second team All-PSAC West honors as a sophomore, a
year ago he found himself not only moving up to the first team, but also
landing on numerous All-American teams. Most noteworthy was a
spot on the Asscxiiated Press Little All-America third team. He was also
accorded D2Football.com second team honors, and was an honorable
mention Football Gazette All-American.
That s not too bad for a player who head coach Lou Tepper wasn't
sure could make it as a Fighting Scot. "When we recruited him, I was
concerned that he would be a big guy with a lot of weight problems,"
recalled Tepper. "1 was afraid he would never get his feet to where they
needed to be. The really gratifying thing with Greg is he saw the prob
lem, and though he didn't like the solution, he got leaner. That small
change allowed him to apply himself."
Bzorek had Tepper a bit concerned again this summer when he
returned for preseason drills at 330 lbs. Listed at 318 lbs. a year ago, the
goal of the coaching staff was to have all of the linemen lose weight over
the summer. "I was disappointed," admitted Tepper. "I was afraid he
wouldn't pass his running test and we would have to send him home.
But he did." In fact, Bzorek is now down to close to his junior year play
ing weight, and still remains one of the best-conditioned offensive line
men.
With brothers attending Clarion and Slippery Rock, Bzorek has
proven quite a catch for the Fighting Scots. "I had a real open mind dur
ing the whole recruiting process," commented Bzorek. Both Clarion
and Slippery Rock recruited me, but I just felt Edinboro was the right
place for me."
Edinboro University Football 2005
Now with brother Josh, a redshirt freshman, also in the lineup,
Greg feels things have changed greatly since he first arrived. "Josh has
a lot better supporting cast around him right now than what I had," he
noted. "We had three sophomores, a freshman and a senior on the line,
and we didn't have a quarterback. Justin Bouch helps him play a lot bet
ter. And LaMont (Singleton) really helps him out a lot. But Josh would
be starting at any other school."
As for who helped Greg out in his younger days, the name
Anthony Peluso keeps coming up. Now serving as a volunteer assistant
coach, Peluso started for three seasons and had his own nasty streak.
"When I played left tackle I had a chance to play with Anthony Peluso
for a year. He taught me a more physical side of the game."
When the 2005 season began, the offensive line was pegged as pos
sibly the biggest strength on the team. It's no wonder, since Josh Bzorek
was the only newcomer on the line. Chris Kaczor, a second team AllPSAC West choice at center, was returning for his third year as a starter,
while guards Andy Young and Singleton were in their second year.
Both also have All-PSAC abilities. The group hasn't disappointed,
paving the way for an inexperienced group of running backs to average
214.5 ypg. 19th in Division II.
'
"Communication on the line is really important," Bzorek empha
sized. "The offensive line right now really gets along well, and com
municates real well. Chris Kaczor does a great job. He's become a much
more mental player this year."
Bzorek has continued the tradition of outstanding linemen at
Edinboro. In the 1990's it was players like Mike Kegarise, Curtis Rose,
Jeremy O'Day and Todd Rogacki. Over the past five-six years players
like Greg Tarbell, Joe Valvoda and Peluso have paved the way.
For Browning, a veteran of twenty years at Edinboro, and someone
who has coached all of them, Bzorek is ^e best. "He's as good as we've
ever had," exclaimed Browning. "I don't know of any better. For his
size, he's athletic. He's got long arms. And he understands the con
cepts, what we're trying to accomplish."
As for Bzorek, he still has some goals to accomplish. The Fighting
Scots are currently 3-1 and are in the hunt for their third straight PSAC
West title and a berth in the NCAA Playoffs. "My main concern right
now is repeating as champions and getting in the playoffs," he stressed.
"After the season. I'll
devote my life to get
ting an opportunity in
the NFL."
At 6'6", 330 lbs.
and with plenty of
awards, he won't be
hard to miss.
And
don't forget that nasty
streak. It's probably
safe to say that Greg
got his fair share of the
two
turkeys
at
Thanksgiving in the
Bzorek household.

The Edinboro defense has given up just 30 points in its first four games,
and is just eleven seconds away from shutting out three of its first four
opponents. The Fighting Scots came up with shutout number two last
week, the first time since 1980 that an Edinboro team has recorded two
shutouts in a season. The Scots allowed just 188 total yards and 68
yards rushing to a Shippensburg offense which has given it fits in the
past. Edinboro currently ranks first in Division II in rushing defense
(53.0 ypg.), fourth in total defense (207.5 ypg.), and third in scoring
defense (7.5 ppg.).

DEGreg MacAnn set the tone for the Edinboro defense when he
blocked a 23-yard field goal attempt by Shippensburg in the first quar

losses of 13 yards, and one sack. For his efforts, and the strong play of
the entire defense, MacAnn was recognized as the PSAC West

Erie Connection Leads Clarion Ground
Game
A pair of former local high school standouts are at the forefront of
Clarion's ground game. Tyrone Buckner, a 5'10", 185 lb. sophomore by
way of Cathedral Prep, leads the way with 209 yards and 2 TDs on 73
carries, while missing one game. Buckner led the Golden Eagles with
49 yards on 16 carries. Harbor Creek High School product Dave
Murzynski, a 5'10", 180 lb. freshman, adds 177 yards on 39 rushes with
2 TDs. A couple of other Erie products are also playing major roles.
Dwaon Woodard, a junior comerback, has 14 tackles, an interception
and has broken up 4 passes. Kyle Snoke, a junior from Prep, has made
7 of 7 extra points, but is 0 of 8 on field goals after making 6 of 7 last year.

Over the past few weeks everyone has gotten acclimated with Spud,
otherwise known as Ulysee Davis. But as the season is progressing it's
becoming apparent that Edinboro has three very capable options at tail
back. Davis, a 5'9", 193 lb. redshirt freshman, leads the way with 408
yards on 85 carries with 7 TDs. The other two players are transfers.
DeMarkus Robinson previously played at Kent State, and while he has
two years of eligibility remaining, he has received his bachelor's degree.
Despite not playing against East Stroudsburg, the 5'10", 180 lb.
Robinson has 165 yards and a TD on 32 rushes. Then comes the x-factor - Kelvin CoUins. A bruising 6'0", 230 lbs., the Bowie State transfer is
a punishing runner who can dso bounce it outside. He has 213 yards
on 37 rushes. Collins, a senior, gained over 1,000 yards in three seasons
at Bowie State.
12 to 29=F1rst Down, Tbe Trend Continues
A week ago we noted that every one of Jordan Bobitski's five receptions
had accoimted for a first down. That trend continued against
Shippensburg. While only catching two passes for 20 yards, both went
for first downs, including one in the third quarter where he managed to
pick up three more yards while falling forward. The catch kept a scor
ing drive alive.

enthusiastically endorse.

seasons. The Scots have shown

Tepper s real passion is for special teams, despite his national reputation on defense Edinboro has not had a kick blocked the last two years
for touclSi^°'^

"Wie had an outstanding pool of
candidates to choose from, hut Lou's

hst of st^douts mclude Bruce Smith, John Holecek, Simeon Rice, Kevin
H^dy, Brad Hopkins, Booger MacFarland, and Ken Dilger, all current
or former NFL standouts. In addition, he has worked with some of the
top head coaches in faie country, including Bill Dooley at Virginia Tech
BlU McCartoey at Colorado, John Mackovic at Illinois Sid GenS
DiNardo at LSU.
^
^ native of western Pennsylvania, it has been neat to be a
head coach agam and to be a head coach in this environment," Tepper
related followmg his first season at Edinboro. "I've recruited western
Pennsylvania for half of my career. It's a joy to be back home."
Tepper completed his second full season as the defensive coordinator at Louisiana State University in 1999. He began his tenure with
the Tigers on December 15,1997, helping LSU to a 27-9 Independence
Bowl wm over Notre Dame. All told, he has served as a defenSve coor
dinator for 19 years m his coaching profession.
BIG TEN HEAD COACH
Til •
•
Tepper was appointed the head coach at the University of
ToHJ'Hrn
R
just prior to the team's appearance in he
John Hancock Sun Bowl. He replaced Mackovic, who left for the head
coaching position at the University of Texas. During his five-year stint
as the Fightmg Illini head coach, Tepper compiled a record of 25-31-2
mcludmg ^o inore bowl appearances. He guided Illinois to a pair of
wins over Ohio State, including one at Columbus; the school's first vic
tory m Arm Arbor against Michigan in 27 years; and three consecutive
wms over rival Iowa by a combined score of 122-17. Just as impressive
Tepper graduated a very high percentage of his Big Ten seniors.
tepper jomed the Illmois program in 1988, serving as the defen
sive coordmator for four seasons and assistant head coach for two
^ears. In his nme seasons at Illinois, he helped the program to six bowl
vitataons, one Big Ten title and top ten rankings in the AP and UPI
iSn H

defensive assistant coach in
1990 by The Sporhng News. His defensive units annually ranked among
Head Coach. Lx>vi. Tepper
the best in the coimtry, finishing 10th in 1989,14th in
1993, ninth in 1994, and 21st in 1995.
Tepper's 1992 Illini squad finished 6-5-1, suf
fering a 27-17 defeat to Hawaii in the Holiday Bowl.
Illinois went in to Columbus and upset Ohio State,
18-16, and posted a 22-22 tie against Michigan in
Arm Arbor.
While his '93 edition finished 5-6, that includ
ed a 24-21 win in Arm Arbor against the Wolverines.
The Illini made it back to postseason play in 1994,
handing East Carolina a 30-0 whitewashing in the
Liberty Bowl. The '94 squad finished 7-5, again
upsetting one of the elite in the Big Ten. And once
again it was on the road, as Illinois shocked Ohio
State, 24-10, in Columbus behind Butkus Award
winner Dana Howard.
LINEBACKERS
Through the years Penn State had gained the
reputation as "Linebacker U", but Illinois could have
made a good case for that designation as well dur
ing Tepper's tenure. He produced consecutive
Butkus Award winners in Dana Howard (1994) and
Kevin Hardy (1995). Along the way, he also pro
duced Big Ten Defensive Players of the Year in Moe
Gardner and Darrick Brownlow (1990), Howard
(1993 and '94) and Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the
Year Simeon Rice in 1994. For the only time in Big
Ten history, Tepper had four first team All-Big Ten
linebackers at his disposal. In all, he has coached
over 20 professional linebackers, and has published
a book, "Complete Linebacking", a 312-page com
prehensive book on linebacker play.
Hardy and Rice became the highest defensive
draft duo in the history of the NFL draft in 1996
when Hardy went second to Jacksonville and Rice
third to Arizona. That stood until the 2000 NFL
Draft when Penn State's Courtney Brown and Lavar
Arrington went one-two.
DIVISION I
ASSISTTANT CX)ACH
In over thirty years as an assistant coach,
Tepper has worked at some of the top institutions in
the country. That includes the likes of Pittsburgh,
Virginia Tech and Colorado, in addition to his time
at Illinois and LSU.
Tepper began his coaching career as a gradu
ate assistant at Pittsburgh in 1967, then moved on to
the University of New Hampshire from 1968-71,
coaching the running backs and linebackers before
becoming the defensive coordinator. His
next stop was the College of William &
Mary, where he joined former New
Hampshire head coach Jim Root as the
defensive coordinator from 1972-77. The
1976 William & Mary squad posted the
school's best record in thirty years. He was
the assistant head coach his final year at
William & Mary.
In 1978, Virginia Tech head coach Bill
Dooley hired Tepper as his linebackers
coach. Tepper helped build the Hokies into
a consistent bowl contender with a defense
that annually ranked among the nation's top
ten. He stayed at Virginia Tech from 197882, working with Outland Trophy winner
and Buffalo Bills great Bruce Smith, among
others. The 1980 Hokie edition played
Miami(FL) in the Peach Bowl.
Tepper joined Bill McCartney's staff at
Colorado in 1983, serving as the defensive
coordinator and assistant head coach imtil
departing for Illinois in 1988. Tepper helped
turn around a defense which raided No. 100
nationally in yards allowed prior to his
arrival, to one which was as high as 11th in Division
I in total defense. He earned the title of assistant
head coach his final two seasons, and helped the
Buffaloes to the 1985 Freedom Bowl and the 1986
Blue Bonnet Bowl. Among the assistant coaches at
Colorado was Gerry DiNardo, who would later
bring Tepper in to direct his LSU defense.

the team. What Dudek wound up making
was the cover of Sports Illustrated as the

By the close of his storybook career, this
phenom from a tiny New Hampshire school
had dethroned Walter Payton ofJackson
State to reign as the leading scorer (474
points) in college football history. He also
finished as the third-ranked rusher (5,570
yards), trailing only Heisman Trophy win
ners Tony Dorsett (6,082) of Pittsburgh and
Charles White (5,598) ofUSC.
But what really catapulted Dudek into the
national consciousness was that spot in the

stole some of the spotlight by placing ninth in the balloting, the best

There was a time when nobody could have envisioned Dudek

supported our players with evening snacks through the grueling practice sessions in August. Our “August
Snacks Program” has been a huge success. In the past, our players had nothing to eat in the evening after
practices, conditioning and lifting. I can’t tell you how truly appreciative our players are of these generous dona
tions. This is the fifth consecutive year that the community has reached out and assisted us. Our players have
asked me to thank each of the restaurants/eateries below. In nearly 30 years of coaching at the Division I level,
I never had players respond with such gratitude.
Please support these Edinboro businesses! THANK YOU.

PSAC Names KUne and Larson Scholar-Athletes of the Year
Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference Commissioner Steve
Murray has announced that 1,366
student-athletes from the league
have been recognized as “ScholarAthletes” for the 2004-05 academic
year. The total eclipses last year’s
record-setting total of 1,239.
Headlining the list of recipients
are this year’s league ScholarAthletes of the Year, Kutztown
University’s Laura Kline and
California
University’s
Mike
Larson.
Those awards are
selected by the league's sports
information directors.
Mike Larson
Larson,
a
senior
baseball
player
from
Weyburn,
Saskatchewan, is a repeat selection for Scholar-Athlete of the
Year.
A criminal justice major, he recently graduated from
California with a 3.85 GPA. This past season, he started 49 of
California’s 50 games, and led the team in several categories
including hits (62), home runs (8), runs (43), RBI (49), total bases
(107) and slugging percentage (.622). He finished his career
among California’s top five in batting average (.375), hits (191),
doubles (43), at bats (505) and among top 10 in homers (18) and
RBI (119).
The multi-talented Larson was a three-time All-PSAC-West
choice. In 2004 he led California to its first PSAC Championship
title since 1979, earning first-team honors as an outfielder,
second-team honors at pitcher and being named the West’s
Athlete of the Year. Larson is a two-time ESPN The Magazine/
CoSIDA Academic All-American, a two-time all-region player, and
has made the Dean's List every semester at California.
Kline, a junior standout on
Kutztown’s field hockey and track &
field squads, hails from Reading. She
carries a 4.00 GPA as a special
education major. This past year she
earned All-PSAC certificates in field
hockey, indoor and outdoor track &
field.
In field hockey she was a
second-team choice for a defense that
posted a PSAC-best six shutouts in
league competition.
The Golden
Bears allowed just 1.21 goals per
game in conference action, tied for
second best in the PSAC.
She
chipped in with two goals and four
assists as well.
Laura Kline
Kline also played a key role on Kutztown’s PSAC
Championship squads in both indoor and outdoor track &
field. During the winter she finished second in the 400-meter run
and as a part of the 4-x400 meter relay team. During the outdoor
season she paced the field in the 400-meter hurdles by running a
time of 1:03.10, and was part of the winning 4x400 relay team
which finished in a time of 3:53.01. Both times-established new
stadium records.
In addition, she qualified for the league
championships in the 200- and 400-meter races, and earlier in
the season, ran a PSAC season-best time of 1:03.05 in the 400meter hurdles.
GIANT
Make every day taste better;
The PSAC Scholar-Athlete of the Year Awards are presented
to the top student-athletes who have achieved at least a 3.25
cumulative grade point average while competing at an

Since arriving in Edinboro in January 2000, I
have felt it is essential that we give to the commu
nity and vice versa. It has been very gratifying to
the response of local organizations in assisting
Edinboro football. Three years ago the service
organizations proved invaluable working at the
Bills - Browns scrimmage, and for the last two
years have run our 50/50 raffles. Their assistance
was greatly appreciated. Myself and my coaching
staff looks forward to working with these organiza
tions once again this year, and thank them for
their support of Edinboro Football.

.jljank you for your support of the Annual
Athletic Fund Drive.
A year ago I told you that it was a year to
lememl^r. How do you come back a year later
and say that we exceeded last year's results. Just
as a year ago, Edinboro University brought home
three Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference
championships. The Fighting Scots repeated as
champions in football and women's cross country,
and over the winter brought home the men's bas
ketball crown.
The women's cross country proved that you
can peak at the right time, finishing second at the
NCAA Division II National Championships as
four runners earned All-American honors. The
men's cross country team, meanwhile, also
earned a top ten finish, placing seventh. In addi
tion to those two teams, football, men's basket
ball, wrestling, swimming and track & field
either competed as a team or had individuals
qualify for NCAA Championships.
It was indeed the year of the individual, as
no fewer than 15 individuals earned AllAmerican status. Shawn Bunch made a run at
becoming Edinboro's third NCAA Division
wrestling champion before settling for second
place at 133 lbs. In men's basketball, Jakim
Donaldson was a consensus first team AllAmerican. And keep an eye out for Brooke
Heath, a freshman swimmer who earned a pair
of All-American certificates at Nationals. Ryan
Coon doubled as a cross country and track AllAmerican.
I have to tell you it would be a disappoint
ing year if those successes weren't duplicated in
the classroom. Fortunately, that was not the case.
A total of 116 student-athletes were recognized at
our annual Scholar-Athlete Banquet. These indi
viduals were honored for maintaining a cumula
tive grade point average of 3.00 or better. Sixty
Fighting Scots were accorded PSAC ScholarAthlete status, with a 3.25 GPA or higher.
That's what we're all about at Edinboro building winners, on the playing fields and in the
classroom. We're beginning to see the fruits of
our labor in terms of fundraising, as improve
ments to the wrestling locker room were com
pleted last fall. A new track is being installed at
Sox Harrison Stadium, and improvements are
being made in the grandstand. Next up - more
locker room improvements, and a new and
improved weight room.
These projects are all part of the University's
Capital Campaign. Another area where your
donations make an immediate difference are
endowed scholarships. Last year more than 80
endowed scholarships were awarded. This is a
number that continues to grow, and makes a very
tangible difference.
Your support has been greatly appreciated
throughout the years. As we begin our eighth
annual athletic fund drive, we hope you'll again
consider a generous contribution. And please
don't forget to let others know about what we're
accomplishing and what we can do in the future
with their help.

Today^s Feature
Bzorek
Loves Gtettiii’ Nasty
by Boh Shreve, Sports Information Director
In one instance, Greg Bzorek is described as a
gentle giant. Yet the Edinboro coaching staff
consistently uses one phrase when talking
about their All-American offensive tackle.
"He has a nasty streak," beams offensive
coordinator Scott Browning, who doubles as
the offensive line coach. "He comes to play. Off
the field, he's a gentle giant. He's a fun-loving
guy. On the field, he's nasty."
Could it be that the nastiness was fostered
by the fact he has four brothers, all similar in
size, although at 6'6", 330 lbs., Greg is the biggest. His brother Joe
played defensive tackle at Clarion, while Bill was an offensive lineman
for Slippery Rock. Ron Bzorek began his career at Slippery Rock before
transferring to Edinboro and playing his final three years as an offensive
lineman for the Fighting Scots. And finally there's youngest brother
Josh, who starts opposite Greg at left tackle.
What must it have been like fighting for food at the dinner table?
Consider that Josh is the smallest of the Bzorek boys at 285 lbs. That's a
lot of food for Ledia and Joe Bzorek to feed their toys.
"My oldest brother Joe was a defensive tackle, and the other broth
ers are offensive linemen," Greg pointed out. "Joe was 6'2", 250 lbs. My
dad said he was the shrimp. 1 can remember when 1 was a little boy my
parents would always go to the grocery store on Friday and bring the
food home. We did have to have two turkeys on Thanksgiving, stuff
like that."
As for the nasty streak, it's something that Bzorek revels in. And
he admits his family has definitely played a factor. "It's not an alter-ego
or anything," he commented. "Football is the only sport where you can
punch someone and its legal. My father and brothers always told me
you have to be physical. I was taught to go to the whistle. If you've ever
noticed, it's the people that don't go hard the whole play who tend to
get hurt."
More often than not, the only time an offensive lineman gets
noticed is when he holds. Bzorek has gained quite a bit of notoriety
while starting 38 of 39 games during his career for the Fighting Scots.
After earning second team All-PSAC West honors as a sophomore, a
year ago he found himself not only moving up to the first team, but also
landing on numerous All-American teams. Most noteworthy was a
spot on the Asscxiiated Press Little All-America third team. He was also
accorded D2Football.com second team honors, and was an honorable
mention Football Gazette All-American.
That s not too bad for a player who head coach Lou Tepper wasn't
sure could make it as a Fighting Scot. "When we recruited him, I was
concerned that he would be a big guy with a lot of weight problems,"
recalled Tepper. "1 was afraid he would never get his feet to where they
needed to be. The really gratifying thing with Greg is he saw the prob
lem, and though he didn't like the solution, he got leaner. That small
change allowed him to apply himself."
Bzorek had Tepper a bit concerned again this summer when he
returned for preseason drills at 330 lbs. Listed at 318 lbs. a year ago, the
goal of the coaching staff was to have all of the linemen lose weight over
the summer. "I was disappointed," admitted Tepper. "I was afraid he
wouldn't pass his running test and we would have to send him home.
But he did." In fact, Bzorek is now down to close to his junior year play
ing weight, and still remains one of the best-conditioned offensive line
men.
With brothers attending Clarion and Slippery Rock, Bzorek has
proven quite a catch for the Fighting Scots. "I had a real open mind dur
ing the whole recruiting process," commented Bzorek. Both Clarion
and Slippery Rock recruited me, but I just felt Edinboro was the right
place for me."
Edinboro University Football 2005
Now with brother Josh, a redshirt freshman, also in the lineup,
Greg feels things have changed greatly since he first arrived. "Josh has
a lot better supporting cast around him right now than what I had," he
noted. "We had three sophomores, a freshman and a senior on the line,
and we didn't have a quarterback. Justin Bouch helps him play a lot bet
ter. And LaMont (Singleton) really helps him out a lot. But Josh would
be starting at any other school."
As for who helped Greg out in his younger days, the name
Anthony Peluso keeps coming up. Now serving as a volunteer assistant
coach, Peluso started for three seasons and had his own nasty streak.
"When I played left tackle I had a chance to play with Anthony Peluso
for a year. He taught me a more physical side of the game."
When the 2005 season began, the offensive line was pegged as pos
sibly the biggest strength on the team. It's no wonder, since Josh Bzorek
was the only newcomer on the line. Chris Kaczor, a second team AllPSAC West choice at center, was returning for his third year as a starter,
while guards Andy Young and Singleton were in their second year.
Both also have All-PSAC abilities. The group hasn't disappointed,
paving the way for an inexperienced group of running backs to average
214.5 ypg. 19th in Division II.
'
"Communication on the line is really important," Bzorek empha
sized. "The offensive line right now really gets along well, and com
municates real well. Chris Kaczor does a great job. He's become a much
more mental player this year."
Bzorek has continued the tradition of outstanding linemen at
Edinboro. In the 1990's it was players like Mike Kegarise, Curtis Rose,
Jeremy O'Day and Todd Rogacki. Over the past five-six years players
like Greg Tarbell, Joe Valvoda and Peluso have paved the way.
For Browning, a veteran of twenty years at Edinboro, and someone
who has coached all of them, Bzorek is ^e best. "He's as good as we've
ever had," exclaimed Browning. "I don't know of any better. For his
size, he's athletic. He's got long arms. And he understands the con
cepts, what we're trying to accomplish."
As for Bzorek, he still has some goals to accomplish. The Fighting
Scots are currently 3-1 and are in the hunt for their third straight PSAC
West title and a berth in the NCAA Playoffs. "My main concern right
now is repeating as champions and getting in the playoffs," he stressed.
"After the season. I'll
devote my life to get
ting an opportunity in
the NFL."
At 6'6", 330 lbs.
and with plenty of
awards, he won't be
hard to miss.
And
don't forget that nasty
streak. It's probably
safe to say that Greg
got his fair share of the
two
turkeys
at
Thanksgiving in the
Bzorek household.
